Where our information comes from
We start with a maker’s US product page, comparison chart or exact model manual. The source link and the date we read it stay with each specification. A listing in another country is not enough to establish the fuel configuration or electrical version sold in the United States.
Maker claims remain maker claims. An advertised bake time can describe a particular pizza style and starting temperature. It does not establish how many finished pizzas you will serve through an evening.
What “not stated” means
It means the material we read did not establish a usable answer. The manufacturer may publish the answer elsewhere. We also use this state when a page contradicts itself or the dimension labels are unclear. Missing does not mean zero, unsupported does not mean impossible, and an unresolved field does not become a benefit.
Three different kinds of space
Pizza diameter, cooking-surface dimensions and the oven’s external body describe different things. The space around the oven is another requirement. We do not infer safe-use clearance from a body measurement or divide a stone’s area to invent a pizza count.
Some maker capacity claims include the diameter of each pizza. Those are more useful for a batch comparison than an unqualified statement that an oven fits several pizzas. If only a maximum diameter is established, we compare on that single largest pizza.
What our tools do
The Oven Fit Check compares the rectangle you enter, the pizza size you want and your fuel with the maker-stated fields. “Not stated” never counts as a fit. It is not a placement or safety check. Oven Lab is an illustrative 3D model of a generic gas oven; its heat figures come from a simple model, not an oven test or a performance guarantee.
How we correct the index
When a source changes, we review the affected fields and the pages that use them. We preserve the reason for a correction rather than silently selecting whichever number looks more attractive. Send the model, country version, disputed field and maker URL through our contact page. Our funding policy explains why purchase links do not decide inclusion.
